Further investigation. If I create a route-eth0 file and put this in it: default 192.168.122.1 dev eth0 I get this upon network restart: Error: either "to" is duplicate, or "192.168.122.1" is a garbage. Which this page: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.1/Deployment_Guide/s1%2dnetworkscripts%2dstatic%2droutes.html says I will get if the default route is set via DHCP. So, the system is seeing the default route, and apparently even trying to set it, but it's not lasting. I'm really lost on this one. j On Wednesday, August 21, 2013 13:48:02 Joshua J.
